AbstractHereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disorder that causes abnormal blood vessel formation and bleeding. We herein report a 61-year-old woman with aggravated HHT symptoms after hemodialysis initiation. She was diagnosed with HHT based on her recurrent bleeding, abnormal blood vessel formation, and family history. Despite bleeding complications, the patient required anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents to treat cardiovascular complications. Eventually, the patient died of extensive cerebral hemorrhaging. Our experience suggests that special attention should be paid to bleeding complications in high-risk patients.
